Is the clutch pedal pump on your Golf 5 not working anymore? Let's see how to remove it. Lift the bonnet and secure it, then access the clutch pedal pump. Start by removing the securing pins of the clutch pump, then take out the piece inside the cabin.

Once the piece is removed from its seat, proceed to disconnect it (unplug the circulation pipes). Pull the clutch cable into the car. Install the new piece in the engine bay, tighten the screws properly, and test the correct operation of the clutch pump.

Adjust the tension with the oil refill.
